I am setting up a new machine to replace the 2.8 install that I am currently using. The machine that I am currently running is on its way out. I have a 2.7 install using the live cd install in downloads. Install was done no network because the installer didn;t like the network dongle. I have since dug through my pile of cards and found a wifi card that the machine is happy with. 2.7 launches as expected and the machine has been updated to current Deb 9.
uname gives Linux localhost 4.9.0-8-rt-amd64 #1 SMP PREEMPT RT Debian 4.9.110-3+deb9u6 (2018-10-08) x86_64 GNU/Linux I am trying to use the instructions on the LinuxCNC buildbot page http://buildbot.linuxcnc.org/ in hopes that I can find a 2.8 in there. I read that Master is now on 2.9 and I would prefer to be a little more on the stable side and use the configs from the old 2.8 machine. I installed the dependency fail for the sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keys.gnupg.net --recv-key EF1B07FEE0EE663E step. When I try to install the key I get: Executing: /tmp/apt-key-gpghome.RJo9NWtHgB/gpg.1.sh --keyserver hkp://keys.gnupg.net --recv-key EF1B07FEE0EE663 gpg: "EF1B07FEE0EE663" not a key ID: skipping and there is no /etc/apt/sources.list.d/linuxcnc-buildbot.list created. I created the file and added the 2.7 entries and edited them to 2.8. That got me an install of the 2.8 docs but nothing else. I don't remember what incantations I did to install 2.8 on the old machine. I think it was just pointing at repositories and using apt-get. Any hints please?
